Stop discriminating against 65-70 year olds for the Shingles vaccination.
Stop discriminating against 65-70 year olds for the Shingles vaccination.
The Issue
My wife will be 68 next month. According to the NHS website those who turned 65 on or after 1st September 2023 are entitled to a Shingles vaccination.
Those who were already 65 before the above date must wait until they are 70. This means that people who are just 65 are eligible but older people, including my wife who, by definition are more vulnerable are not eligible. My wife has also been refused by our GP practice.
This is blatant discrimination against people between 65 and 70.
Please sign the petition to get this age group vaccinated against this debilitating disease.
